I’ve been working out a bit tryna put some weight on this skinny body. Self discipline is the hardest part

I have the opposite issue I love working out I just lack the self discipline to not eat like shit.

Easiest way to not eat like shit is to not buy shitty food when grocery shopping

Never go to buy food hungry you’ll buy junk food

Learn how to cook and start making pork chops steaks fish etc more often

Don’t buy anything that’s processed, if it’s not in your house you’ll think twice before you go to McDonald’s for a cheese burger when you can make a steak

I do enjoy eating <a:ablobhungry:635256027344011317>

on top of this, learn to use lazy cooking methods. you can make a whole crazy amount of delicious foods with minimal effort in your oven, a slow cooker, and a sous vide. instant pots are great to. like the four horsemen of tasty ass food without putting in a shitload of work. i make a killer chuck roast by doing nothing more than putting the meat in the cooker, putting the seasoning packet in, dumping in half a cup of water and letting it sit all day. thats literally it

and on a 3 pound roast you have food for at least 3 days

Smoking is the way

That roast would maybe last me a day <a:sweat:403572149593309185>

well

it depends on how you eat the roast

i typically just have lunch and/or dinner with mine

if you just eat the roast for every meal, yeah 1 day

maybe 2

appreciate the file bud

trying too lose some weight hardcore, been dieting for the past couple weeks now

@platonicrhino31
You do IF?

nnot familiar

Aight boys hit 90 on the preacher curl today, we’re all going make it

Dedication is the hardest part..dieting aswell..dont expect overnight results and stick with it.you will be pleased with results..that file is just one i found for an intro program .pretty solid tho

Stay strong Kings

Once you accept this doesn’t end, it gets easier. Don’t push yourself too hard or you’ll burn out like I did after smolov.

I wrote my diet plan into 3 notebooks and got motivation to continue by the cost-sink fallacy of how many days I’d invested into them. Obviously myfitnesspal and other similar apps would work as well, but for me, these were physical evidence of my progress.

The more you invest, the more you’re not willing to quit. Especially if you buy your own home gym. If going that route, all you really need is an adjustable squat rack, bench, and 300lb of weight.

Also, when buying weight that’s used, make sure to bring a scale. I have a 45lb weight that weighs 53lbs. Bought it off craigslist...at a gym that had been closed for years who’s owner was slowly trying to get rid of everything.

I know it's later on in the day but post something you want to accomplish then come back and say if you do it. Nothing huge like running a marathon but things like cleaning or going for a walk

Dieting is the worst. I recently started to do intermittent fasting. I’ll stop eating at 8or 9 and won’t eat till 8 or 9 the next day. Only sucks cuz I get up at 4 every day.

been suffering with Gout for about 4 weeks now ive managed to go for a few walks in that time which is painful AF. only managing around 3 miles with a ruck weiging about 26lbs its slow going but its better than just sitting around growing Lorge

It takes time to build up the body.

I like reflection too. I take about 5 minutes and just look out a window. No phones or anything just think about what I did and will do for the next bit.

Any consensus on zig zag dieting ie 14kcal a week and eating more carbs on the days you lift and focusing more on protein on rest days?

Doesn't really matter beyond a weekly average but if it helps with compliance.

Little after workout snack

Does anyone have any tips on low impact exercises a big guy with knee troubles can do? I have one of the stationary bike things that I’m putting together soon and a new puppy that’s going to keep me a bit more active. I’m willing to work hard, just need to start slow is all.

@platonicrhino31 try keto my man

Swimming burns an insane amount of calories. My warning as always with the keto is make sure to consume some carbs otherwise your brain will shut down. A larger intake of water is needed as well for converting fat into energy. \

i've been drinking water like crazy for that reason

It works best because it is a strict diet. Please do a little bit of research first before starting it since drastically altering your diet can be dangerous. When in doubt consult a dietitian not a doctor.

i've been focusing on eating reasonable portions of foods i normally eat, like not eating 4 or 5 tacos in a sitting an instead eating 2 an saving the rest for later, an drinking water instead of needlessly snacking
